ThomasNicole Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I think Disney shouldn´t announce specific dates for VOD and physical media. I don´t think it will hurt the box office or something, but it would be better if they let the movie being exclusive more time before announced when is coming home. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiderByte Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Saw this. Dug it. Feel like the anti-corporate/pro-non IP sequel message is a little undercut by the Disney synergy bits but overall dug it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpiderByte Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Is Free Guy the only movie in the last two years to actually benefit from Covid? Idk what it'd have to opened to but the legs definitely would never have been this good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Free Guy would be doing these insane holds in a pre covid environment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it makes people feel well and it's occasionally admittedly fun with a charismatic performance from Jodie Comer but the means it goes through to reach those crowdpleasing moments is very shrill and lazy. Those 2 big fan service moments in the 3rd act were ridiculous but played well in the theater (of course) Taika's performance in this is also undeniably atrocious. A cancerous onscreen void. I challenge anyone to defend whatever it is he's doing. It's so painfully unfunny I believe he's trolling. A deliberate science-experiment to see how far he can last on Hollywood goodwill Taika delivered probably the worst performance in a film I have seen in the last couple years in this. Just pure cringe inducing and painfully unfunny. I was embarrassed every time he was on screen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on Levy for allowing that to happen on set. It makes no sense to me the passes this man is given. Adam Sandler is constantly mocked while Taika gets away with whatever the hell he was doing here. No better than anything Pauly Shore did 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No better than anything Pauly Shore did Since you mentioned Sandler, it just reminded me Ive been thinking since I saw the movie how it probably would've been critically panned had had he starred in it. Like if this was a Pixels sequel, would anyone even dare give it a positive review? Edited August 30, 2021 by lorddemaxus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk what it'd have to opened to but the legs definitely would never have been this good. The legs are better than avg for August but even in normal years there's not much competition in the later half of August and into September which is why August legs are usually very good. Shang-Chi will provide far more competition than normal. I think only December has better legs. Even Hitman's Bodyguard had 3.5x legs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I guess I'm the only one here who thought Taika was terrific. The average audience member has no idea who he is so maybe they don't really care as much as you guys do. This is by far my favourite film of the last two years. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked his performance too, he was intentionally a massively irritating dick and I think a lot of people are missing that point. He wasn’t meant to be likeable. The fact that he seems to have annoyed so many people says to me that he played it perfectly. The “what you talkin’ ‘bout, Willis?” line delivery tickled me.
